In his new play, LILITH, Allan Havis has placed Adam's legendary first wife at the center of a parable about marriage. Springing Lilith loose in our age, the play is as devious as it is diabolical.\u003cbr\u003e The first act is in biblical times, the second in present-day New York, but the distinction is not intended to be clear-cut...\u003cbr\u003e Mr Havis weaves an intricate web of lustfulness and deceit...\u003cbr\u003e The sardonic language could have been written by a contemporary counterpart of the Swedish playwright  Strindberg]...\u003cbr\u003e As in his earlier plays, MINK SONATA and MOROCCO, Mr Havis shows a mordant wit, used this time to ask the question, who is Lilith and what is her fatal attraction.\"\u003cbr\u003e Mel Gussow, The New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"...the tightly wound play begins with a cunning, crafted charm, then gradually grows its own demonic wings and flies off into a mysterious, dangerous realm...\u003cbr\u003e Havis has long been praised for his skillful, laconic style and his ability to build toward an unexpected, chilling monstrosity. LILITH, with its literary dialogue and creeping air of suspicion, is no exception...\u003cbr\u003e Havis likes to subvert American drama's insistence on explanations, and deliberately leaves things hazy, but he is often disturbingly direct in his treatment of women. As in his earlier plays--MOROCCO, MINK SONATA, HAUT GO T--Havis presents two contrasting but inseparable images of women: here, he plays on the old virgin-whore theme. No question, he does it masterfully...\"\u003cbr\u003e Alisa Solomon, The Village Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52503217373491,"sku":"9780881450927","price":25.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dnBSa0ZaZ1NoMWQ0clNhQXpiSUhkZz09.webp?v=1760165874","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/lilith-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
